[Half a page in praise of Evenings, beginning:] 'No one can be so injudicious, or so unjust, as to class the excellent "Evenings at Home" amongst books of mere entertainment. Upon a close examination, it appears to be the best book for young people from seven to ten years old, that has yet appeared. We shall not pretend to enter into a minute examination of it; because, from what we have already said, parents can infer sentiments, and we wish to avoid tedious, unnecessary detail.'
